The company said net sales rose 21 percent to $142.8 million in the quarter ended Sept. 30, while profits were $8.3 million, down from $17.2 million in the same quarter last year but still ahead of Wall Street’s expectations.

A Large Evil Corporation, based in Bath, England, will operate under the name Funko Animation Studios as a result of the acquisition.

Funko CEO Brian Mariotti talks about the IPO aftermath in an interview published today with Bloomberg News: “I’m not going to lie — it was a bit disappointing, a bit shocking. That 24 hours didn’t go as expected, but it put a hell of a lot of fire in each one of our management team’s bellies to prove everyone wrong.
